pyorac cannot read in MODIS emissivity #78

Closed dr1315 closed 8 months ago

dr1315 commented 2 years ago

When building the pre-processor driver in pyorac, if MODIS emissivity data is selected, tools/pyorac/drivers.py will set emis variable to None at line 70, rather than assign correct path.

See: https://github.com/ORAC-CC/orac/blob/ea56acccf267a249c60802b9eae6743e605d135f/tools/pyorac/drivers.py#L70

No, that's how it's supposed to work. use_modis_emis_in_rttov is a binary flag. It triggers an override of the emissivity field with that from MODIS CIMSS monthly values here.
